I'm not sure how the Soviets marched under Stalin, but you may be closer in marching to that. Studying Stalism and reading current events is...scary.

Hey, thanks to that third link I might be able to enjoy Narnia again! Once I was old enough to see the pervading Christianity, I had no longer enjoyed it, been unable to actually read it *glomps crack site*

Chronicles of Narnia were recommended reading by the makers of Dungeons and Dragons!
Does this mean I should finally check out D+D?

Some information for this article was obtained from documented papers written by unknown authors. We wish that we could give the proper credit, but the Lord knows who they are will reward them properly on that day!

Nah, not go on the whole, not sinking, but the tectonic plates on the West coast are under increased pressure etc.blablabla plus North and South America are the only threatened regions with pre-warning systems.

The existence of a division between Jesus and the occult depends a lot on one's bias, I think. The story of Jesus is full of prophecies, magic and supernatural creatures. The difference between this and the occult is what exactly?

The names.

If you have some groovy guy lion who does magical, wonderful things, that's occult. If you make it a lamb and name him Jesus, it's fine, upstanding religious material.

After a quick skim of that CS lewis article - looks like they missed the forty other books that CS Lewis wrote ABOUT CHRISTIANTITY.

Damn. I wish these people lived in my city. I'd totally show up on their doorstep and feed them a knuckle sandwhich. Buncha stupids.

Looks like you have an old news story with that blogging link. According to CNN Lawmakers say Hands Off Web Logs.

Though to be honest I can kind of see the point of wanting to watch that. Considering the damage done by soft money, I don't think it's entirely stupid for the government to want to keep up with technology to make sure that people aren't taking advantage of loopholes to get around campaign laws.

Which isn't to say I agree that the proposed changes would have done that, just that I don't think that the concept of monitoring any possible illegal campaign activity that might be happening on blogs is automatically a bad thing.

WTF is up with that Chronicles crap? Some of my "favourite" bits:

Lewis' appetite for beer, rum and wine is visible in the fact that the characters consume them regularly in his Chronicles.

Following this hypothesis, because Agatha Christie wrote about murder, she must have been a murderer too! Jeebus. It's fiction.

A strange drink is mentioned that is not named. The "White Witch" produces it by magic for Edmund. It is described as "...very sweet and foamy and creamy, and it warmed him right down to his toes." (Alcoholic drinks are often used to warm people, but is this one or not?)

Yes, it certainly can't be hot chocolate or warm milk or cappuchino or just about anything else.

There is nothing in the books that says kids should drink alcohol. If anything, it shows other characters drinking and the kids explicitly not. All of the site author's "evidence" consists of "what if?"

The Centaurs are said the have beer as part of their breakfast. So, beer is something to drink in the morning.

Drinking beer at breakfast was done right up into the 19th century (and possibly longer, but I know for a fact in the 19th) due to bad drinking water and no pasteurization. It was healthier in most societies, not bad! Same for why they drink wine so much in medieval-y stories like Narnia.

And that was just one page. I can't even read any more because all the fucking ignorance is simply infuriating!

Did the site author miss the part where the White Witch was one of the bad guys? A corrupting influence who was eventually overcome?

The DAY someone got in trouble for linking to Politician Bob, hundreds of thousands of websites would link to Politician Bob. And they would let the relevant parties know this and -dare- them to go after them.

And drama will ensue and it will be funny.
